On every Solar MOT

Most solar systems
quietly underperform.

Silent faults are common

We found 6 panels completely disconnected on a recent Solax job. The app showed everything as fine. The system had been running at 60% for two years. The owner had no idea.

Dirty panels lose output

Dust, moss, bird droppings and pollution build up over time. Studies show dirty panels can lose up to 10% of annual output — a professional clean costs far less than the lost generation.

Birds cause serious damage

Nesting under panels damages cabling, voids warranties and creates genuine fire risk. Bird guard installed at the time of a clean or MOT prevents all of it.

Regulations have changed

BS 7671 Amendment 3 now requires surge protection on solar systems. Many older installs don’t have it. We fit it as part of a Solar MOT — same visit, no extra call-out charge.

Performance drifts without monitoring

Generation naturally varies by season — but gradual underperformance is easy to miss without real-time monitoring. Our remote monitoring catches issues before they cost you money.

Warranties need evidence

If you need to make a warranty claim on panels or inverter, a certificate of regular inspection strengthens your case significantly. Our Solar MOT provides exactly that.

Everything your system
needs to keep performing.

Four services. All designed to protect your investment, restore lost output and give you complete confidence in your system.

Performance Check

Full system inspection carried out — inverter, panels, cabling
6 panels found with unseated MC4 connectors — never properly clicked in at install
No error showing on inverter app — system appeared healthy
All connections properly seated, torque-tested and weatherproofed
Surge protection fitted — missing from original install
Bird guard installed — evidence of nesting found under east-facing panels
Certificate of Health issued — system now performing at 100% expected output
Case referred to Solax for installer quality review

I thought something felt off but the app showed everything as fine. Turns out six panels had never been connected properly since day one. MiniGrid found it in the first hour. I’m just glad I finally called someone.
